after some testing and bugreporting here my 5 cents and stuff:

* the map could use a zoom button
* it realy would be usefull if some of the items would be stackable... for example medkits or trashloot alternativly it would be nice if the inventory would be upgradable or variable to the number of teammembers
* I would like to have some statistics, for example how long a certain character is on the team, how much damage dealt or taken, number of kills, most dangerous enemy defeated ... things to flesh out the team to make it more personal
* having the mission desctription page available during mission
* Hackers overdrive should not work on npc's like engineers or holograms from smuggler mines
* void Psykers miasma takes a lot of animation time, even if it allready switched to the next character one cannot act for some time
* cred sticks randomly lying around allways are worth 5 creds... that is realy strange in high levels, especially while the faction loot worth raises with every level
* optional boss fights where class abilities realy come into play not only simple max damage builds (perhaps even in random maps)


ps.: keep up the good work, I like what I see so far

Ascendance Void Psyker is a killing machine. Maybe it's by design, but she is reeeally good (^ ,, ^) Target strongest foe for your source of energy and backlash sucker, stun'n'confuse with hacker so your source of free energy isn't doing anything you don't like (plus hacker's virus will spread to others with a passive once in a while; good action economy), CARNAGE.

I'll try Void Psyker as my first comrade at lower levels next patch to check how it is at low levels, though.

EDIT:

Oh, and what's the point of additional crew members besides maximum allowed in battle? They don't get EXP so they fall behind…

EDIT 2: when void psyker's backlash kills a foe the message says my character fainted.

EDIT 3: ok, there is a downside. If you miss with your Backlash you have to wait quite some turns to be (safely) awesome again.

Void psyker's Overload could use more information. It's not apparent when exactly can it happen. I've seen it only whenever I gain void energy from activated abilities.

Usually written as VSYNC, I think.

Random ramblings below.

Tried starting with Optimization Hacker (was created first), Mutation Prototype, Specialist Soldier and Engineer (builder or something?). Didn't go as well.

Optimization Hacker starts kinda slow – does not contribute much, and she reached 0 HP once already (standard difficulty), I was still level 5. That never happened when I run with Rootkit. Since she usually goes first and foes seem to take offense when she Hotlinks them all quickly they target her… :]

Engineer's slow to start. First you deploy something, and it appears somewhere the end of action bar… Maybe it gets better later but the start is killing me %)

Prototype is more or less solid with this tree as well. I'm liking it :)

Specialist Soldier. Not a fan of charged attacks and she starts with one.

Will try a different party, I guess.

EDIT:

Suddenly, a crash on load (tutorial map): http://pastebin.com/iUchNR65

So, I've just finished a mission and this happened: https://i.imgur.com/Xs6mttm.png

After that, Cyberninja was still level 2. Hacker has a +5% EXP bonus item, other than that I have no idea what could cause this.

FixerBot seems to heal my enemies even though it is still charmed by my Hacker (charm did not disappear).

That boss battle in “Good Housekeeping - Aurora” has minion removing permanent buffs (from weapons) for the battle, is that intended behavior? Brutus also resisted level 3 Root Hack from Hacker, and here I thought it was supposed to be 100%.

Last foe standing shouldn't probably self-buff (at least with low HP). Summoning help or attacking - ok. Boosting attack when you are going to die? Not ok.

Constructor Engineer

While it doesn't quite have that WOAH feeling others have with constructs appearing withing 5 TU Constructor Engineer is much more usuable now.

But then again, Junker was my go to choice whenever possible since it hits everything and taunts.

I thought Thumper would be a nice choice but in the end I didn't use it much. Barrage is nice, but taunts usually pays off better in my experience. Maybe I should've chosen Blasto instead.

Sapper, well, draining shields sounds nice but it is way too slow. By the time it acts more than once I usually brute-forced all the shields I've cared about. It seems it can't heal Bolty, too bad.

Special Delivery sounds great but costs 50% TU and pays off only later down the road. Personally, whenever I'm starting a battle I want to do something that matters right now, not many turns later since healing is hard to come by. Haven't tried Twofer, though.

Master builder is kinda “meh” in my case. I don't have Blasto so level 1 gives me nothing. Level 2 reduces Thumper cost which I'm not using that often so I never really was in a situation where that'd matter. Level 3 is fine, bonus damage, damage reduction and bonus HP. Have you seen Hacker's Snowcrash? That's what AWESOME means. Master builder means “whatever.”

You also save some HP when dealing with jammed doors, kinda nice.

Combination Cyberninja

Is is just me or Purging blow does not always removes a buff from the target? And Ambush does not seem to deal damage but it does apply combo points successfully (I don't think I had a weak weapon at the time, but I'm not sure).

I wish I could take both Purging blow and Laserchain kunai at the same time, but I don't have free ability slots… I need everything here! Nice :)

Assassination Cyberninja

Haven't seen much yet, but I wish other classes had something like Kougeki that upgrades your basic attack.

Prototype

Looks solid whenever you go. Cool.

Tactician soldier

Good tank with a little buff and As One! ultimate ability which, I'm pretty sure, bosses don't like.

Not sold on Best Defense but it's there when you activated everything else (or have some good on hit effects on your weapon, I suppose; I need to find one).

Bloodthirst is nice, too bad enemies tend to die before I reap its benefits *cough*

Malware Hacker

I know this tree is awesome, but what System Shock is for? 10 basic attacks for 100 daze seems like soo long, considering Hacker's role. Or will multi-hit weapons apply more? I need to check that… Although my Hackers are into pistols for the initiative boost (Snowcrashing everything to death right from the start).

Oh, and those Foul whatevurms that come at you while your party memebers are all bathed in their feromones are pretty sick. They just keep coming! I'm liking that :)

Saw this https://i.imgur.com/J6VMKXE.jpg the other day. Nicely done :)

Maybe some (rare) Trashcans could be bots that attack you whenever you pass by… :)

No update for GOG this time?

Cool, thanks (^ . ^)

Void energy description in battle does not fit into message box: https://i.imgur.com/HPYisAL.jpg

That new bug, when battle's stuck and can't progress further after you make a move, is present in this GOG build, BTW.

Talking cofeebots, lovely (^__^)

There are some problems with comparing shields, specifically with TU regen: https://i.imgur.com/vEJVGER.png

And I think it used to show wrong colors as well, as TU regen is a good thing and the less time the better, AFAIR. Not sure whether that was fixed yet.

(random amusing things, slightly spoilerish) On the importance of naming: https://i.imgur.com/iT48Ny8.png (^ . ^)'

Not sure whether it is a bug, but just in case (I've opened hidden panel and that's what I saw):

Messages other than the first one on Good Housekeeping - Aurora mission do not wait for you click before it disappears. I think this is still the case. Or is that a feature?

Impossible to close crew status window in battle if someone is standing on the left side: https://i.imgur.com/zBZCv8m.jpg Whenever I click on close button the game reacts as if I'm pressing on an enemy. What's this window supposed to do anyway? (O.o) Is that just a way to check temporary allies?

After Good Housekeeping - Aurora mission I've talked in the bar and this happened, hm… I clicked on one of the options and I pressed '1' at one point. I'm not sure what caused it, probably the later (see background): https://i.imgur.com/XYyGV4o.jpg
